lecture notes are clear and posted online. I didn't attend lecture often because it was 8am, but still finished with an A. The most important thing to do is his practice problems. If you understand how to do them, you can get an A.

A good professor and attendance is not mandatory. However, tests are only midterm and final, and these are harder than the practice problem. Lectures are heavy and you need time to learn it after class. But!!! Curve is soooo gooooood.

hw 20%, midterm 30%, final 50%. midterm is almost exactly like practice exam. final is fair. Everything on the test was on the lecture notes so highly recommend go over your notes before tests. Professor Pan always posts his notes online which is good but also discourages students to go to lecture... nice professor.

Pan seems to be relatively new to teaching, but I would say that overall he is doing a decent job. Homework is limited to 10 tries each and is usually enough to get through. Practice exams are very similar to the actual ones.

Professor Pan is incredibly young, but he really does a good job. He is accessible outside the class and posts clear notes. Lecture is helpful and you'll be fine if you really put effort in his class. Office hour is long and helpful.

In actually, his math8 is so easy that as long as you finished your hw, you will get an A. He is also patient and he'd like to answer students questions.

I think Pan is a great professor. His notes during the class are very clear, detailed and organized. He is very nice and willing to answer students questions. But he seems to be a little shy in the class. His tests are not too easy but you can get a good grade as long as you go over his notes and review questions. I eventually got an A+.

Hard final and homework. Weird rating system and grade distribution. Will NOT take again.

He did well in lectures and teaching, but the final was so tough and he didnt really curve our grade as he said he would. We got a final with 120 in total but 68 in average. He only changed the distribution of letter grades but not really curve the grades. That seemed unfair when he gave us such a tough final.

I love this professor. He is funny and easy-going. He also has really long office hours. Professor Pan is very understanding! He always makes sure to ask in the middle of lectures if we have any questions. As a new professor, he has done a wonderful job!

He is a good professor. He has very good notes. I hate two midterms, the lowest midterm will NOT be replaced. He is accessible outside the class. He is very nice and always kindly answer your question. You can drop by and ask him question even if it is not his office hour.
